It's otherwise a standard RGB wired cable. Is there any simple way to
fake/drive pin-8 using a SCART socket/plug plus a few components?

Thanks,

Strange, yesterday my TV to decoder via scart cable all of a sudden made the TV image jump to widescreen and the 2 black 15 cm belts at both sides of the screen dissapeared. This morning it's back to a squarish screen.
What does that mean? A bad connection in the TV on the SCART pin 8? I've changed 2 scart cables now. Can't be those. Would it be at the TV side or the decoder side? So I plug the scart in the TV resp. decoder and see if at the other end of the scart cable I can measure if there is a tension on the 8 pin-Pin 14? It should be the TV that sends that signal to the decoder it can handle widescreen, isn't it?

My LG TV switches to Scart input from the usual aerial input when the
unit outputting to Scart is active. I assume this is pin 8 live, but I
have never checked.

However, my TV switches from widescreen to other formats depending on
the signal input, whether it is aerial or Scart. So to get the effect
you describe, I would suspect the unit sending the signal rather than
the TV.
